***

***

The longer a line is held down using a drawing tablet, the more frayed the line seems to become. Using a Huion Inspiroy H610PROV2. Works fine on Gimp / Xournal++.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any pdf on okular (on windows)
2.  Draw a line using the freehand line tool (alt + 8)


OBSERVED RESULT
See image

EXPECTED RESULT
smooth lines and circles

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 11 22H2, Build 22621.1992
KDE Plasma Version: n/a (?)
KDE Frameworks Version: n/a (?)
Qt Version: unsure (where do I find this)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Johnson Sun 2023-08-12 07:49:03 UTC
I can reproduce this issue in both Windows 10 and Windows 11 using a Wacom Intuos tablet (with the latest driver). Interestingly, the same issue does not exist when using the Linux (Ubuntu) version of Okular.

I suspect this is a platform-specific issue.

I can reproduce this issue as well. I use Windows 11 on a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 with a Samsung Pen. 
Samsung uses Wacom tech and drivers, so the nature of the issue is similar to those with drawing tablets.
